Then we can allow for the stab about 15 hours in total. That gives me 60 hours, and say we allow 40 hours extra for the finishing. Thats just a rough estimate.

We are working on the composite fuselage. But the shipping cost will be higher due to the extra size.

Nice of you to provide an estimate but I wanted to say it strikes me as a fair bit low for those without direct experience. I built a mini Telemaster a few years back, kept track of my time and I put in nearly 60 hr!

Still love your kits, though.
